Falk: Too Early to Say if She'll Use Peg Arrest in Campaign

After the speeches, Falk wouldn’t close the door on using Lautenschlager's drunk driving arrest in a campaign ad.

In an impromptu press conference with reporters following her speech, Falk accused Lautenschlager of starting a dirty campaign. Lautenschalger put out a release this week questioning Falk’s Democratic credentials.

But Falk gave mixed messages on whether she would run a clean campaign.

"Certainly, my opponent fired a very negative shot," said Falk, citing Lautenschlager’s release from Thursday.

"I have helped Democrats for as long as I can remember," she said, adding that she had never considered running for any office as a Republican.

"I run positive campaigns," she added. But when asked if she would bring up her opponent’s drunk driving arrest in a campaign ad, Falk said, "I don’t know. It is way too early to tell."
